Crash Cymbal Comparison- 5 Sabian 18" Crashes

[gaktasa]

HHX studio crash ftw.

[SupasaskaTV]

the first one and the last one.

[Kirkfan410]

question is which one is the cheapest?

[christopherb27]

Those HHX's sound like cream to my ears! Having one of those above my hi-hat is sounding like a good ideal. The Zylgian I have is not as crisp and defined. Hurry up tax return!

[Brofessionalss]

They all sound like Jizz... I WANT ALL OF THEM ON MY BODY

[danydrumsable]

 Sabian 18" AAX Studio Crash

[LefuProductions]

all of them



[TheRafmisterio]

all the HHX

[colourfulwithaU]

I'd like to see some crescendo rolls on all of those cymbals.

[JinchurikiDemon]

Sabian Evolution, FTW

[gregmyersjr]

The Evolution sounds the best.

[AllanJ1981]

Yes Zildjian rules, and Meinl is epic...



[gregmyersjr]

@AllanJ1981 Zildjian sounds like sheet metal... Aside from the oriental china trash.

[aeAustiin]

I liked the last one.

[AllanJ1981]

all sabian cymbals basically sounds the same.. dark and pingy....nok my kind of symbal at all,

[KeggersMcKeagney]

@AllanJ1981 Dude, I hear Sildjian make some awesome symbals :P

[dannobs]

HHX evolution ftw! but to make it fair I think Sabian should send me each of their cymbals for me to test at home :) only fair!

[b8sballkid1197]

HHX Evolution sounds best

[cooldude3]

HHX ALL DAY

[TutaWookyDrummer]

the HHX Stage and Studio....<3

[zabbadaa]

aax studio for me

[throwdown47]

hhx evolution sounds like sex

[robmcev]

I definitely prefer the AAX

[SamsDrums1]

HHX evolution

[bbwilson15]

hhx stage

[JoeyJdrumss]

HHX evolution and AAX studio

[vtcro]

drums sound is shit

[JammyDodgerX5]

@vtcro I don't see any drum mics - just overheads to capture cymbals primarily



[TheSummerService]

HHX Stage.

[iLoveGamesAndPie]

HHX evolution is the best

[LewisSomerville]

i want them all!

[Clapboardstudio]

Lol @ topcomment...

[TaccioDrum]

18" AAX Studio Crash &

18" HHX Evolution Crash

My opinion makes a difference like your sound?

Please send to Argentina a few with low cost here. It's very expensive (But the best) and the FUCKING goverment (all of them, past and present) always screw the people. It's not your problem but i hope you can understand.

Be kind. I am with you. You ask me, i answer.

Ask and you shall receive.

Thank you...and after all i hope to be able to still buying your product

[DLGaming1]

Those are some sweet looking shells!

[LaochWins]

I'm liking AAX more than HHX.

[czarekkl]

AAX Studio Crash > AAX Stage Crash

HHX Studio Crash < HHX Stage Crash

What an amazing discovery!

But no, seriously, AAX Stage sucks...

[remranger]

studio or evolution , they sound sweet

[GamingRasse]

nice cymbals



[ArbZ0022]

hhx evo

[HEYYitsMEyou]

what kit is that??

[GingerDrummerDude]

i'll take them all thanks :P

[superzombie1997]

I love the AAX stage crash, HHX evolution and HHX stage

[foxgentlemaenner]

AAX Studio Crash has some nice ride-like sound. ideal for 4/4 crashing but for the breakdowns the HHX evolution

[WyattTheGuitarist]

I liked the studios the best.

[nahmadic]

anyone know what kit that is?

[gus13rock13roth]

the last two

[Jellymann]

hhx stage

[pathemus]

Evolution sounds amazing but it would get destroyed in heavier settings.

[lakaiguy35]

Evolution! 

[sabianhhxevolution]

i think my name says it all

[heeeeheeee12]

HHX studio

[StupidShitVideo]

I was gonna point out how awesome the Evolution sounded but everyone else already did lol

[keeperoftheblade1]

great job, sabian! you made me want to get them ALL.

[TheKennyGabe92]

Cymbal*** is how you spell it for the people that don't know.

[orangekayak]

This is a GREAT way to compare cymbals. I love my AAX Stage set live, but my Zildjian A's sound better in the studio.

[Sharpshooter226]

@orangekayak exactly all depends on the setting studio is prob better for studio because its got a quick response with a fast decay and the stage crashes have more volume and sustain which you need when playing live

[JonnyWedel]

sweet video

[killemquick555]

lol. what flies off the cymbal at 0:57

[RoFzeszeszes]

@killemquick555 prob his drum stick :P

[Moonbadgers]

@killemquick555 ya drumsticks fall apart eventually and u have to buy new ones -_-, slowly and especially when you hit symbols your sticks will have chips fly off them

[MrReedro1]

does no one know that a stick made of wood has splinters fly off? prime example at 0:56

[zerocravity]

at 0:56 something flies off the symbol?!?!?!

[fallingfromjupiter]

@zerocravity His stick chipped.

[noconflictbanana]

hhx evo!!!

[abcismeisme21110011]

anyone notice @0:57 WHAT IS HAPPENING?

[skyskelton97]

B8 ftw!! *troll face*

[posse600]

i'll take all of them, thanx you :)

[MyDrummerjoe]

my ear likes the AAX Studio, all are great!!

[HungryWalrus74]

That HHX Evolution is by far the best

[seriftheband]

I fucking love the Evolution but wouldn't complain for a second if I had any of those cymbals on my kit.

[FeelingBallsy]

I'd be extremely happy with any one of those cymbals

[cityse1]

cant deside if i should get AA or AAX or HH,HHX

[fuzzfire]

like all of them actually

[PnAsg]

HHX Studio Crash and HHX Evolution xD

[liamdrummer28]

the stage's sound like a crash/ride

[AJConrady]

I'm going to start setting my cymbals up like this.

[AJConrady]

Thats a nice kit.

[CiscoMcLovin]

evo

[badhabitdrummer]

AAX Studio and HHX Evo

[Fasttounge]

@badhabitdrummer my choice as well ! .-)

[DrummingVBX]

the aax stage crash and hhx studio sound nicest

[JiJiLaGo]

They all sound amazing!!!! Sabian rocks

[MrDrumskill]

AAX studio crash!!

[SEPTICSOUNDS13]

aax dark crashes are really good aswell

[C0mm0d0r35]

the AAX studios are real nice but that evo just sings

[TomorrowSilenceMetal]

If you listen to the whole song, or whatever to say. So I think you should listen to each crash properly. Because I would say that all crashes fit the song more or less! Love AAX Stage Crash!

[therevengeofficial]

aax studio, but no x-plosion?

[MrCASGDARK]

Evolution off course

[adamwajdzik]

18" HHX Evolution Crash 

[Robeban2]

@blica1 Cheers.

[Fluffy4020]

I was hoping for B8s and XS20s to compare them to expensive cymbals, but nope...

[xXbrick84Xx]

My 18in HHX Evolution crash comes in tomorrow!! Can't freakin wait!!

[Shlickery]

my ear is tellin me the evolution. good ear.

[MegaLunaman]

He hits twice the HHX EVOLUTION at the end BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST !

[TheSkyLineBand1]

hhx evolution... obvious winner

[Spenguccio]

I want 'em all!!! :D

[emercito]

18'HHX Studio Crash :)

[tkdrummer95]

I have the AAX Stage, but mine's a 17". I love it to death...

[Robeban2]

Is it just me that likes the HHX stage? Or should you just get like a 15" or 16" for that type of sound.

[blica1]

@Robeban2 i love them too , bro..they're sabian's answer to the zildjian k dark thin crash or medium crash !

[DrSyncopation]

The AAX Studio crash and the HHX Studio crash Sound identicle.

[666Hazard666]

none of the above.. HHXplosion and AAXplosion are my fave Sabian Crash's, but alas I'm a hard hitter and just break them.. As much as I hate to say it the Zildjian Z Custom medium crash's seem to take the abuse much better.. I've groove juiced the logo's off though.. Dont want them to defile my sabian setup too much.. lol

[TheGh0stGamer]

AAX Stage and X-Plosion!!! Best Crash Cymbals in the world!!!!

[SergioBalbuenaJunior]

HHX Evolution Crash!(:

[judeappetite]

What are those hats? They be sexy!

[ultraray20]

Either AAX studio or stage.

[debo326]

Evolution definitely... My least favorite would be AAX stage

[Bboycrazymind]

Very nice snare XD,HHX Studio :D

[Johnnysk8drumdude777]

evolution :)

[uwillgetponed]

HHX studio 

[repentorperish17]

AAX Studio

[jedrekantkiewicz]

HHX Evolution fuckin rocks



[gshdrums]

HHX Evolution

[samSOAI]

HHX EVOLUTION CRASH! I'M FALL IN LOVEEEE!

[JasonParkSABIAN]

whoa AAX studio and HHX stodio crashes sound the same!

[XWiseXGuy]

Both of the Stage crashes were my favorite. Probably the AAX over the HHX though.

[sundimond9252]

what fell off the cymbal at 0:56?

[UnforgetableGoat]

@sundimond9252 part of his stick

[jedrekantkiewicz]

@sundimond9252 piece of the stick :D

[Pandanobear]

Evolution.

[bikestunts123]

I thought HHX was modern dark and AAX was modern bright, the HHX studio crash is brighter then the AAX studio. But still they all sound amazing. Just need Some AAX/HHX X-plosions

[therevdrummeravenged]

same mics same sounds hahaha they all sounds the same to me except the aax stage crash

[giveittomeidiot]

hhx stage to me

[CraziiDago]

This guy sucks. He can't even hit cymbals correctly. And before you say there is no correct way to hit a cymbal. Learn your fucking shit.

[Kurdtttt]

HHX Evolution/hhx studio

[hugo12212]

@Kurdtttt same for me mofoka :D

[Transcendium]

HHX Stage Crash all the way!

[joshuachan56]

If they put the 18" AAX X-Plosion crash in, it will beat the crap out of all of them except the HHX Evolution.

The AAX X-Plosion & the HHX Evolution is the best crash in the Sabian line.

[Scarf3086]

AAX studio sounds best to me. I usually tend toward a brighter sound

[osmanertasdiken]

İ think HHX Evolution Crash is better

[SuperXpress2]

HHX Studio and HHX Evolution sound awesome!

[sonorcrusher]

All except the 2 HHX s

[XxMANUELiiOxX]

HXX studio, and HXX Evolution :D

[2112LSG]

zee zecond van vaz zee best

[mrski]

I'm not a Sabian man, but that is a COOL video, and tune!

[ablan2s]

isnt it weird tht the HHX is brighter than the AAX in this vid?

[vatcharavit2]

@ablan2s just only pitch i think

[junos6]

???? Where's the AAXplosion ???

[XDrummerSteve]

I really like the video concept. Being able to hear them within the context of a song and played with a kit is a huge plus. Of course, there is the variable of the mic being used but I still believe this is a great idea.

[ibernalq]

AAX studio and HHX Evolution

[natinhobatera2011]

amazing!!

[Sybertronic7]

Take all of them maybe??

[JWZ308]

aax studio crash

[xIcarus227]

hhx :d

[JosiahSCooper]

Nice drumming.

[antibulletdodger101]

HHX

[predatoronmars]

ill take them all.

[LucasDrum112]

HHX studio :D

[metalicadude69]

My vote is for the HHX anything! I love HHX

[MrJoko97]

hhx stage crash!!!!!!!

[rdavidr]

I had an hhx evo for 6 years and it broke the other day :(

[0obacho0]

AAX is a very understimated serie, the aax-plosion crashes sounds extremly good

[Drumlover182]

In my opinon aax are the best crashes. Hhx are the best rides and effect cymbals. And vault have the best hats.

[drummerdude3214]

HHX Stage Crash FTW. I think the evolution sounds too thin.

[TheFapperman]

he likes the HHX crash so much he lost a bit of his stick at 0:56

[Fredthedrummer21]

@TheFapperman I'm amazed at how you managed to catch that detail, well done :D

[TheFazambo]

My HHX Evolution cracked quick...but it had a dent on the edge and hoodlums destroying it. Sad day :(

[designingoblivion]

hhx evolution hands down



[nachoone235]

mejor el hhx stage \m/

[BandAnimated]

does the hhx evolution crack fast?

[MorningRise90]

HHX evolution is the best. The AAX stage wasn't to great, but their other crashes are way better.

[troubleoftheyear]

HHX evolution kills.....!!!

[TheGhostInYourCloset]

Thumbs up for Paiste!!!!

[Luke50001]

@TheGhostInYourCloset :D Hell yeah bro!

[BlindShorty11]

AAX is the shittiest

[drummachinekeith]

That looks fun

[BenjaminProd]

HHX Evolution sounds the best (and it also looks awesome), but the HHX Studio also sounds amazing.

[EzraPad1234]

HHX evolution ftw!!!! :)

[HelloHansSolo]

FDNY SUCKS MOTHER FUCKING DONKEY DICK!

[CanineVideos]

AAX

[angelacevedo2112]

[carcassgrindcorpsesc]

[TheRevPlaysDrums]

@carcassgrindcorpsesc It's just you
